scoreline
Final game tally
A scoreline is the final score of a game or match, presented as the numbers for each side: The scoreline was 3-1.
British usage favors scoreline as a single word; Americans more often say "final score" or just "score." Sports journalism uses it frequently: a flattering scoreline, the scoreline doesn't reflect how close the game was.
